Background and approach

Conversations are practical and paced to each person's needs, with attention to immediate coping strategies as well as longer term goals. Her methods draw from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. That means sessions often include listening and reflection, identifying unhelpful thoughts, and simple mindfulness or relaxation exercises.

Together with the client she develops a plan that fits daily life and current struggles. Before becoming a therapist, Lindsay spent seven years as a case manager supporting older adults, people with disabilities, and veterans. She has provided counseling in outpatient settings and through online services since 2015, bringing nine years of clinical experience overall.

Lindsay holds the LMSW credential, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker. She is registered in Michigan with licence number MI LMSW 6801095495. Her approach aims to be compassionate and practical as clients work through difficult changes and family-related challenges.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers a supportive space and helps clients identify their own solutions, which can be especially useful when navigating family or life changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small changes that improve mood and daily functioning. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and bring calm during stressful moments. These techniques are easy to use between sessions and often paired with CBT or client-centered work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Adjustments are made as work proceeds so care fits the individual.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules and make it easier to connect from home in Michigan. Many people find that using a mix of formats helps them stay consistent while still getting practical tools and support.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
